<h2>Why is this an issue?</h2>
<p>It is needlessly complex to invert the result of a boolean comparison. The opposite comparison should be made instead.</p>
<h3>Noncompliant code example</h3>
<pre>
If Not (a = 2) Then  // Noncompliant
Dim b as Boolean = Not (i &lt; 10)  // Noncompliant
</pre>
<h3>Compliant solution</h3>
<pre>
If a &lt;&gt; 2 Then
Dim b as Boolean = i &gt;= 10
</pre>
